The greatest movie ever!
Doomtomylo
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

This is one of the funniest films with a dog in it. The relationship between Turner and Hooch is what makes this film so funny. Turner (Hanks) is a police detective and his only witness to the murder is Hooch a drooling pooch - together they must find out who killed Hooch's owner. Turner never expected to gain such a lovable side-kick as Hooch. This duo is sure to tickle your funny bone.If you like crazy, silly comedy police/governmental type of stories such as "Spies Like Us", "The Naked Gun", "Police Academy" "Fletch" or "Dragnet" then it is a good chance you will get quite a few laughs out of Turner and Hooch.8.5/10

Turner & Hooch is just a harmless, cute film. Tom Hanks plays a police officer who ends up adopting a dog because he is the only witness to a murder. At the start they hate each over which is rather funny to watch, however as the film goes on you see them for a relationship. The film is fun to watch and occasionally makes you laugh but I really felt the ending fell flat when Hooch died I didn't feel the emotion it went over to quick we see Tom Hanks crying for around thirty seconds and then it flips to his new life married to the vet living in a home with many dogs & even a mini Hooch this felt like there was no mourning to Hooch he deserved a bigger death scene and more sadness as the audience we never even got a chance to cry because in a matter of minutes we were hit with this big happy ending! Good film but didn't enjoy the ending. Rip Hooch

Tom Hanks is an obsessive-compulsive cop who takes in a filthy, slobbish French Mastiff when it's the only witness to a murder. Basically The Odd Couple with a dog. It's predictable and formulaic to the bone, but hits a strange nerve that allows us to overlook its shortcomings and appreciate the sweetness of the ride. Hanks is largely to thank for that, at the top of his game very early in his dramatic career. Though a few not-so-surprising supporting actors pop in from time to time, (Reginald VelJohnson as a policeman? What a shock!) it's almost entirely a one-man show that sails beyond expectations on the merits of his lone performance. In fact, the closest competition is Beasley the dog, who's absurdly emotive and personable throughout the film. He and Hanks make for a great team, as silly as that might sound, and it's easy to tell that a lot of their best scenes were ad-libs that miraculously avoided the cutting room floor. Funny, bittersweet movie magic that really has no business being as entertaining as it is.

I remember loving this movie as a kid, and watching it recently, I must admit it aged pretty well (except for the music and the hairdo of the leading actress). I laughed several times at the antics on display, mostly because of the interactions between Tom Hanks (Turner) and Hooch. Hooch, the dog, is a special effect in itself. He's initially so ugly, I thought he was some kind of unique bastard dog, but it turns out there's an actual breed. Who would have thought? So initially ugly, so big, yet turning out so lovable and actually handsome with his sad face and droopy expressions, once he cleaned up and didn't slobber too much.We have Tom Hanks at the height of his comedy career (before he turned too serious) giving a very energetic and enthusiastic performance despite playing a serious, by-the-book, neat freak. For me, there was actual chemistry between him and the dog. That scene where they "talked" in the car was hilarious. The other actors weren't bad but weren't notable.Other scenes where the dog made a mess or was particularly disgusting were to be expected, but they were enjoyable nevertheless, mostly due to us expecting Hank's reactions and him actually delivering. Sure, he was a bit over the top sometimes, but it worked. The actual police action stuff was less interesting and pretty standard for the times. The movie was also a bit sad a few times, but I think that made the movie more memorable. For me, this film remains a reference, even today, in terms of dog-comedy movies.Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
